...duchess is the slow bulging hub of a wheel whose whirling spokes are a glitter of medieval cities and country castles, deaths and tournaments and plagues. Jews who lent money and princes who rode through summer dusts or winter snows, bishops who begat bastards, kings who kept mistresses and died of wounds; all the remote and entangled brightness of a century, like all past
